    I just wanna watch some superb footwork. Then boxers with Superb Combinations. Not good work rates.. SUPERB Combinations.



    thanks a whole lot for anyone who can name some.

    I'll donate 200 to all the middle weights who fit the script.

    Ummm.. not hating on the guy i love him too but we can leave mayweather out of this..We all know he has good foot movement.. I'm looking for something a lil different. So the ALI/Mayweather's naaaaa EVEN though they are probably the best at it.

      ah, Meldrick, nice one. his footwork in the JCC fight was fantastic.

      you could also say someone like Tommy Hearns, but its gonna be hard to imitate someone like him, haha.

      whoever said McCallum, I agree.

        Clearly the post was in jest.

              the top 2 candidates for this should be Leonard & Jones

              Mayweather is good but he uses lots of upper body movement and he stays in the pocket more rather than use his footwork to offset his man and attack from angles like Jones & Leonard


              strange as it sounds i think Israel Vazquez has good footwork for an aggressive fighter you can see how good at counter punching Rafael Marquez is and how good he is at fighting at range but he could not stop Israel Vasquez from closing the gap slipping his shots to attack the body

              cutting the ring down etc

                    Kessler is one of the worst he comes foward and goes backwards in straight lines

                    Chad Dawson has far better angles and movement than him

                    even Tarver has better footwork than Kessler he is better at switching angles

                      Oscar de la Hoya has some amazing combinations and very meticulous foot work. For some nice foot work watch the first Chavez fight, or the Trinidad fight, for some awesome combinations see Round 6 of the Mayorga fight or Round 10 of the Vargas fight, and actually a few rounds of the Sturm and Hopkins fights aswell, when he was forced to throw some nice ones off the back foot.
